Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
BLACK PASSENGER, YELLOW CABS, an erotic ethnographic memoir, explores in easy lay person’s terms the socio-psychosexual dynamics of Japan and the erotic capital of the Western male. Such are the social dynamics which allows sheer effortless and infinite availability of sex, for grey and white men. A phenomenon I was only too eager to explore. Former sex addict with an extreme orange preference, I drew on my own experiences, those of my friends along with extensive research from a wide array of sources. As a memoir, BLACK PASSENGER YELLOW CABS delves into my own history, childhood environment and experiences, which created the predator that I became. Growing up as the only child and the only male on a church commune with some fifty women in an east Kingston ghetto, I consider myself a Black, Feminist, sex addicted Lesbian, happily trapped in a man's body. Having left Jamaica at 15, I spent 21 years in the UK and the US, before moving to Japan for seven years. A move motivated completely by sex addiction and extreme orange fever. BLACK PASSENGER, YELLOW CABS is a journey which ends at self-actualization, my May 2008 repatriation to the United States, immediately marrying one of sixty women in my seven years in Japan. 'Guns, sex, and racial suicide. And that's just Chapter 1!' Alon Ziv: Author, Breeding Between The Lines. myspace.com/blackpassenger

This is an exploration of deviant cultures in an "exotic land" that teeters on the edge of academic reflexive ethnography, edgy sex research that would have made Kinsey proud, and Henry Miller-esque porn-memoir. This inquiry treads where most qualitative researchers fear to gaze."

I was asked by the writer to read and review the novel. This should have been two separate novels. The way it is written now, the writer sounds like he is a sociopath. He give us story after story of him manipulating these different women for sex. That he has sex with mothers and daughters, co-workers, etc. But also he complains on the plight of these same women by the society that they live in that makes it possible for him to take advantage of these women. If this was a simply an erotic tale. Maybe he could convince me what these women saw in him. Size could not just be the main event. Especially since he has paid for over 13 abortions. If he wrote a second novel on the plight of the women in these countries. It could have been a stronger book.

BLACK PASSENGER YELLOW CABS: An Erotic Ethnographic MemoirThis book is worth reading if one would like to understand the psyche of the third world. I read the two reviews which this book has received and realized that they just don't get it. Maybe one has to have seen where Stefhen grew up and understand the incredible, sheer luck it took to crawl out of such a hole and be able to write a memoir of his experiences.First of all, most Jamaican children are so beaten into submission for even showing curiosity about things outside their everyday existance that they never get in touch with their feelings at all. They don't even understand what a feeling is.
That this author could still acess his feelings, write about them and eventually overcome his sex adiction, too is laudable.
I feel that the book could have been shorter. There are repetitions that could be edited out and I would have enjoyed more of the back story of how he got through therapy and got from Dunkirk, Kingston to Colorado, California, etc. But as an example of overcoming obstacles in a way that most people in the very first world can't even begin to comprehend, it is a shining hope for others. The sexual experiences in the book are simply examples of his addiction, but if one reads through that to the sensitivity he shows in understanding the abuses the women went through to be so available to him and other western men is what makes it interesting. Much more of the world has these underlying abuses as part of their culture. The very first world would be smart to pay more attention to what is being said in this book and others like it, which unwrap the brain and emotions of foreign cultures. Then maybe there would be a little understanding and less bumbling in their foreign relations. Some larger, more important countries seem to be totally out of touch on this issue.
Don't read this book for the sexual content, read it for the sensitivity it exhibits to two cultures not your own, but cultures that are valid nonetheless and reflect a large part of the population of the globe.

I downloaded the free Kindle sample of this ethnographic masturbatory brag-fest. Got two pages in and couldn't stop laughing. Got four pages in and wanted to cut my eyes out. Turned two more pages before I realized that it wasn't an assignment and no one was paying me to read this torturous nonsense, so I did in fact not have to suffer it any further.
I deleted it immediately, lest the pretentiousness, awkward phrasing, misogyny and preposterous claims infect other perfectly good books through some mysterious digital osmosis, where books that have none of these qualities would somehow suck them out of this sample, or maybe the sample contained so much self-important bull$#!+ that it would burst forth and bathe every file around it in a slimy coating of ridiculousness.
Skip it, people. Unless you are looking for an example of what never to do when writing anything, of any style, ever. Or you want to hurt your brain. Or you are a woman looking for a prime example of misogyny.

Potential readers would be well advised to sample this bloated work gratis before spending even $0.99 for the complete edition. Every recounting of poverty and sexual excess is rendered dreary and lifeless by the author's complete incompetence with narrative and dialogue.
